Boostik HP

BIRKEROD, Denmark, Feb. 16, 2006 -- Fiber laser maker Koheras is introducing the Boostik HP, what it says is the first truly single-frequency, mode-hop-free high-power fiber laser offering up to 10 W of output power. The laser is designed with reduced susceptibility to acoustic noise and vibrations, with unmatched low frequency and intensity noise as well as a narrow linewidth less than 100 kHz, according to Koheras. The laser is available ready for operation as a stand-along unit in a 19-in. rack system, including state-of-the-art digital control electronics. It is available with a number of standard wavelengths such as 1064 and 1083 nm (other wavelength options include 1112, 1118 & 1121 nm and in the 1.5 µm range).

The laser is delivered with a connectorised single-mode fiber pigtailed output, PM or non-PM, and optionally with free space collimated output. The laser targets applications such as wind Doppler LIDAR (light detection and ranging), sensor interrogation, spectroscopy and atom trapping.
